Apologies before hand- as this podcast on crypto is hosted by someone who sounds as if he is struggling to put 5 words together (ME). Or just come across as merely coherent.

Concerned about #southafrica and land expropriation - guess people don't learn from history (as those in Zimbabwe are saying). Found a very informative primer on how SA organizes itself - along with its recent history. Fascinating country - hope it doesn't implode upon itself https://welections.wordpress.com/guide-to-the-2014-south-african-election/race-ethnicity-and-language-in-south-africa/

hugging and touching so very important for #mentalhealth https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/mar/07/crisis-touch-hugging-mental-health-strokes-cuddles Especially now- when everyone is glued to their mobile.

But #politics is not a good substitute for human kindness and a felling of belonging.

Interesting discussion on how researchers are learning from viruses- in this case, the herpes virus- as its a master at manipulating the immune system.

ound this video on Elastos OS for the Intenet. It doesn't run completely on blockchain but on the Elastos Runtime. With access to the blockchain AND sideschains. The current focus is connecting with Internet of Things and use of Dapps. Don't like that it uses Proof of Work however. #crypto #blockchain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dacbW62dkDI
